and I think that there is a consensus that this is a strength and not a weakness or limitation. The production-library member must be identical to the acceptance-test library member, and the only way to ensure that this is the case is to copy the [successful-outcome] acceptance-test member into the production library. [The binder is, of course, very much better at such member-copying operations than any of the alternatives to it; and it should always be used.] In passing, let me also note that this thread has contained too many references to load modules. Enterprise PL/I systems should almost always be packaged as [sets of] program objects.
